Hi, my name is Nala My foster mom calls me Floppy because I take any opportunity to flop on your lap for love and snuggles! I may just be the biggest lap dog you've met! I'm about one year old so I have some growing to do still. I really need to work on building up muscle as I didn't have much space to exercise before I came to SCARS. I am wonderful with kids, people, and other dogs! I am good with my foster brother the cat but I don't like it when he zooms past me or gets in my face (it makes me a little nervous) my old home also said I was good with rabbits! If you have birds I am not the pup for you. I liked the chickens at my old home a little too much and that's why I ended up at SCARS. I would not be a good livestock guardian dog. I LOVE to play so a home with one other young to middle aged dog would be a perfect fit for me. I can be a bit jealous of my human petting the other animals so I'll need to keep working on that! I am a resource guarder with food so you will need to separate me in another room or kennel for meals and snack time. I didn't have much practice with leash walking or basic training before SCARS but foster mommy says I am a smart cookie and am catching on at lightning speed! I have only had two accidents in the house and they were both at the back door. It's not my fault, I'm just a baby still and I'm learning to hold my bladder! I sleep in my kennel all night with no accidents but I do get a bit nervous being home alone in my crate. Teaching me to be confident and to trust my humans are coming back will be crucial in my progress. I am a sweet girl who just wants to be with you all the time whether that is going on long walks, going to the store, or having a lazy day on the couch! I'm down for anything! I can be a bit anxious when left home alone. A home where you work from home or finding someone who could get me into daycare, or set me up with a dog walker to take me out in the middle of your work day would be perfect. I am VERY trainable and quite food motivated. I would be perfect for outdoorsy people, acreage life or an urban home where I get lots of attention and walks! My foster mom thinks agility would be a great thing for us to do together to build my confidence and muscles!
